 la jon na zanfri lo nu rokci cpare (or "cpare lo rokci" to be more
precise) .iku'i jy  (NOT "la jy". "jy" is already a sumti by itself,
"J") zukte lo se go'i

  Let's go through this step by step:
la jon <-- x1 of "nelci"
na <-- "not",  negates the whole bridi
zanfri <-- "enjoys"
lo nu cpare lo rokci <- "rock climbing", the x2 of zanfri
.i  <-- sentence break
jy <-- "J", the x1 of zukte, refers back to "la jon"
zukte <-- "does act"
lo se go'i <-- the x2 of the previous bridi, which is now the x2 of
this sentence
